My take on things: IT’S A FUCKING HIT!!!

Withered Hand ‘Hard On’ (Live at Lee Rosys Tea Shop, Nottingham)

That’s me whooping like a crazy person at the end… I like that just before that there’s a moment of stunned awed silence (and it was stunned silence not disinterest)

withered hand ‘joy’ (limbo, edinburgh, 5 march 2011)

no idea if this petition’ll make a crumb of difference but currently dan is being denied entry into the US due to complications with visa regulations and it all seems kind of heavy-handed and culturally imperialistic (probably)

so, sign this if you give a damn:

if you don’t give a damn, well, that’s a shame…

it’s also cool to see that k sticker on dan’s guitar- I gave him that when he came to play and stay in nottingham (we let anybody in)

withered hand ‘hard on’ (charles latham)

because you’re tired, you’re tired, you’re tired, you’re tired
you’re tired of feeling sad
you’re disappointed, hurt and mad
and all the poetry you’ve written is bad
